We will strive to be more like Jesus in all that we do. Joseph Roman, Pastor Clara Walls, Reporter MT. PISGAH G.B. CHURCH 6100 S.

Pastor Tuffy can be seen live on Facebook at 10 :15 a.m. on Sunday morning. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your understanding" (Prov- erbs 3:5). There will always be secrets and motives of God that lie be- yond our grasp. God knows ev- erything we do not. Only in Heaven will we understand God's ways more fully. As Paul said, "Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I al- so am known" (I Corinthians 13:12). But based upon what we do know about God's charac- ter demonstrated supreme- ly in the Cross, we can trust that God is doing what is best for us. God says in His Word, "I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" ( Jere- miah 29:11). If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. Your pres- ence will be deeply appreciat- ed and you will leave being blessed.

Mark Wade,Deacon FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH 1400 E. Main Street Petersburg 812-354-6775 One of my favorite lines from a book, comes from the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Lucy asks their new friend Mr. Beaver, "Is he safe? " inquiring about this king they had heard of named Aslan. Mr. Beaver, pithy an- swer, "Oh no he's not safe, but he's good." Sometimes I won- der if we are just hoping that life in Christ will be safe. We can come to him, get salva- tion, feel good, and eventual- ly go to heaven when the time comes. However, that's rare- ly the case. Imagine the rich young rule or the other young man who came begging to fol- low Jesus, but once confront- ed by the reality that the fol- WINSLOW CHRISTIAN CHURCH Corner of Lafayette and Walnut Pastor 812-753-3539 Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m.; We extend a warm welcome to everyone. Dr. Robert Asa, Minister lowers of Jesus lacked a bed and shelter, or even that one would have to sell everything he had. The truth is, following Jesus wasn't safe then, and it isn't safe now. Still to this day when he calls a man, he bids him, come and die. Following Jesus means actively dying to ourselves and living for him. We have to decide that there is no safe shallow end follow- ing him. To enjoy a rich life in Christ, we have to cut the rope. DJ Bryant, Pastor BRENTON CHAPEL CHURCH OF CHRIST 1194 E. CR 400 N.

Matthew 19:14, Mark 10 :14 and Luke 18:16: "But Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." I believe these three men wrote this same comment from Jesus to really get our attention on how to teach our children. Forgive me Lord for not obeying these words while my children were growing up. I wish I'd done things a lot dif- ferent now. Jesus wants us to teach our children to be like Him.Je- sus was God in the flesh for the short time He walked on earth. We should intensively ex- press this point to them. I pray you won't do as I have done and not raise them by the word of God and in church, and have to regret it after they are grown and released in the world. Pray for your children that they will put Jesus first in their lives every day. Teach them how to love, not only them- selves but others. Read the Bible to them ev- ery day, so they will learn who Jesus really is, and why God sent him here to die for our sins. Make sure before they go off to start a new life for themselves in this unpredict- able world that they absolutely know that "God is love" and He loves them. Save our children.

In honor of him and his respect for God, we are sharing a prayer written by him in 1752. O eternal and everlasting God, I presume to present my- self this morning before Thy Divine Majesty, beseeching Thee to accept of my hum- ble and hearty thanks...Di- rect my thoughts, words and work, wash away my sins in the immaculate Blood of the Lamb, and purge my heart by Thy Holy Spirit...Daily frame me more and more into the likeness of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, that living in Thy fear and dying in Thy favor, I may in Thy appointed time attain the resurrection of the just un- to eternal life. Bless my family, friends and kindred and unite us all in praising and glorify- ing Thee in all our works.
